Tale
A Montana ranching family faces off against others who are encroaching on their land… Forry J. John Dutton (Kevin Costner) often seems to “forget” his Montana accent and reverts to the SoCal voice he usually uses..

Kevin Costner is the patriarch running a dynastic ranch that’s the size of several states. His way of life is encroached upon by resort developers, tribal rights, and the Montana state government. Reminiscent of Rock Hudson in “Giant,” he tries to cling to the old ways.
Costner fills his character’s boots naturally, it seems
"Yellowstone" moves quickly with little introduction, but its story unravels with the natural rhythm of a day in the desert, pausing for tribal rituals, cowboy conventions, and political machinations. It’s a massive undertaking that sits at the seams between law and justice, family and friendship. He’s a world-weary man who’s seen too much and lied too often.
The land and family are his blood
He can hear footsteps coming toward him, but he can only perform his role out of habit as much as loyalty. While some of the action is a little confusing due to lack of explanation, it feels natural, as if the viewer is getting a real slice of life, a glimpse into another world. I hope the resolution of this saga includes an emotional payoff that justifies its breadth and attention to detail.
I’m raising my rating to "9"
